Avon Ring Road Contract Info

The contract for building the Avon Ring Road has been awarded to Christiani Nielsen. Their head office is in Leamington Spa and they also have a subsidiary in Cardiff.

Research shows they are quite a small company for a contract of this size, so solidarity actions and hitting them hard will be really worthwhile. This company is hated in the West Country. They got the job of the Wells Relief Road in Somerset a few years ago, then followed it up with the nasty evictions on the quarry road through Dead Woman’s Bottom on the Mendips. They expect to start on site early May. The protest camp is well established now and is getting ready for full-on action. Contact 0836 653723 or 0797 9990389.
